Medical Guidance for NC500 Travellers
🚨 Emergency: Always call 999 for life-threatening emergencies. Do not attempt to drive to hospital. The Scottish Ambulance Service and BASICS Scotland helicopter response operate across the Highland region, including very remote areas.
NHS 24 (phone 111) provides round-the-clock non-emergency medical advice. If you are in an area with no mobile signal, drive to the nearest village and ask a resident for the location of the nearest phone. Carry travel insurance that includes medical repatriation — the distances involved in the Highlands make comprehensive cover essential.
